I have a Galaxy note n7000 and I want to put nice themes like the new jellybean 4.1.1 but if I ask someone to help they tell me, your phone has to be rooted and I dont want to root my phone...

Any suggestions to what I should do???

There is nothing inherently wrong with rooting your phone. It does void the warranty, but with most Samsung products, this is easily reversible. However, when applying themes using root privileges, it can be tricky, but from personal experience, also yields the best results. Using a third party launcher as suggested above is the best route to go.
